Brick archways were a unifying feature of the seven buildings that comprised the newly constructed Bentley campus in 1968. They are design elements outdoors and indoors, such as this one in the library.

Located on what is now south campus, the Dovecote building was part of the historic Lyman Estate when Bentley purchased the land in the 1960s. Traditionally, dovecotes are built to house pigeons or doves, and we believe this is the purpose it served for the Lyman family.

The pedestrian bridge opened in 1989, lowered into place across Beaver Street in one large piece. It offered a safer commute from residence halls to classes as more students chose to live on campus. Upgrades through the years include installing better-lighted pathways and emblazoning “Bentley” on both sides so drivers know they’re passing by.
